Taste: 5 Value: 4 Service: 4 Came here for a team dinner in their upstairs area. Had a dedicated server and staff. Food was tasty. Liked the pretzel, deviled eggs, fried chicken, and bratwurst. Chickpea salad was okay. Large beer selection available on tap and also a full bar for cocktails. Tried some of the other sausages and they were all pretty tasty. TVs press out that were setup as split screen to show multiple baseball games playing for the postseason. Could see it as a fun place to eat with friends and watch games. There's also this weird library downstairs before the bathroom. Has animals and figurines in the library and a large mirror. Quirky.

Such a nice spot for dinner and drinks! A friend brought me here and I was delighted to try it out. Efficient, ordering experience. We got out beers first and food shortly after (three fried potatoes were crispy and hot). Wurst sandwhiches were bomb, and paired well with the sauce selection we got. The space is nice and open with tons of seating and great vibe!

Drove down here for lunch and had a great time! They have a very good selection of beers and the food itself is very good. Personally, the quesadilla with sauerkraut was something I had never tried but ended up being my favorite thing. I didn't try anything else but the people I was with really enjoyed their burgers so they are doing something right!

Immaculate upscale biergarten vibes with a good selection of beers off the tap and real Liter glasses. I'm a big fan of the creativity of the different flavours of bratwursts and the selection of sides (I usually go for potato salad). That being said, I think the sausages could have more bite to it - the soft texture gives way a bit too easily compared to what i typically like. I'm looking for more bounce in each bite. The bread choice was really good though. Hot korean fried chicken is definitely fun to have on the menu, but though the flavour was good, the chicken bites were on the breadier side and not as tender as I would have liked. I'll need to try to chicken sandwich and smash burger though - they definitely looked yummy (and you know, you eat with your eyes first).

Went to this place at 4:30 on a Thursday for a work event. The place is not huge and it has long tables like a German pub. The is also a first floor but it can get crowded because the space is small. When I arrived at 4:30pm, which is when the place opens, I found a spot right outside but I can see how it might be difficult to get parking during peak hours. Most of the people in my group drank beer but I tried the rose, sauvignan blanc and both were terrible, not surprising since this place is a beer hall. The mixed drinks were strong and the beer tasty (I was told). They also has a buffet for our group - pretzels, hot chicken bites, a vegetarian quesadilla filled with sauerkraut and a garbanzo salad. The garbanzo salad and quesadilla were quite bad but the chicken bites and pretzels was hot and very tasty. The highlight of the menu though was the cheese sauce that came with the pretzels. You can eat that on it's own. Not sure I would go back, if I become a beer drinker, I might.

Came here at noon on a Saturday for a one-year memorial gathering for my niece with family and friends. Located at the corner of Baldwin and S. B St, the restaurant with its high ceilings is bright and airy. The tables are communal like a German pub. We had the upper level reserved for our gathering. It's a menu less ordering process. You scan the QR code on your table for the menu, order and pay. After ordering, the servers brought the drinks and about ten minutes later, they brought the food order. There were plates, utensils, napkins, cups and a water dispenser along the wall. Our order: Hacker-Pschorr Munchen Dunkel - it was tasty dark German lager beer. One of the few German beers on the menu. Deviled eggs - two or four to an order. Made with Aleppo pepper, dill and mustard. If you love mustard, you will like it with it strong mustard taste. Porchetta Wurst with side of Haus potato salad - a rosemary, fennel, garlic and lemon zest pork sausage in a toasted split top bun topped with lemon gremolata and fried shallots. Potato salad with made with slices of potatoes in a dill mustard dressing. Chicken Schnitzel - two battered fried cutlets with a large house mixed greens dressing with pumpkin seeds in a lemon vinaigrette. The chicken cutlets were very moist and fried to a nice golden brown. Overall, good German beer hall/pub. However, menu is limited than typical German restaurants since dishes like wiener and jager schnitzel and sauerbraten, potato soup and apple strudel. As a German pub, wished they had a larger selection of German beers over domestic beers.

Had a late night bite at Wursthall with the husband and group of friends, and was not disappointed! Once you are seated, scan the QR code at the table to order and pay; the husband and I ordered the Smashed Cheeseburger and Pesto Chicken Bratwurst. Food came out quickly, and overall everything tasted well. The Smashed Cheeseburger was fulfilling and tasty, but I have to admit it wasn't anything too spectacular. The Pesto Chicken was good and I was pleasantly surprised by the flavors. The restaurant is spacious and bright with communal tables. Atmosphere was chill yet lively, and staff was friendly. All in all, solid food and vibes.

Wursthall is a bierhaus with Californian influences. Lots of indoor long tables with benches as well as a couple of outdoor tables. After you are seated by the friendly staff, grab the QR code on your table and place your order and pay right on the spot. Your order will be brought out to you. You can also get your water order in (no charge) along with your food order. If you want dessert, place it when you're just about ready for it, because they make your order right when it's placed. We ordered the chicken schnitzel, deviled eggs, wurst, and not pictured, the spaetzle with cheese. The schnitzel was perfectly breaded, side salad tossed with light lemon dressing. The deviled eggs were delightfully creamy, the spaetzle went well with the schnitzel. Let's just say when I come back, I'm definitely getting the wurst. I didn't think I would like it this much. But I should have known, it is what they should be good at here. I would also like to try Kenji's Korean Hot Chicken bites or the sandwich. After all, even though he is no longer the owner, the recipes are his or "Serious Eats inspired techniques". If you don't know about Serious Eats, just do a search. I'd also like to try to get a reservation to get into their speakeasy, which I think is supposed to be underneath the restaurant.

Friday night we just needed some good beers and indulgent food to pair with - you can get both here. It's a clean and spacious interior. It's also one of those QR code menu and online ordering platforms. Order/Pay and the food will come. No problem here, if you can use your phone, you'll know how to order. It's nice to not need to flag down a server. My favorites were the thrice-fried potatoes, korean chicken sandwich, and the porchetta wurst. Out of all the available sides, the thrice-fried potatoes were the best. If you don't eat anything else, at least eat this! You'll salivate at just how crispy the crust on those things were. Fluffy potato-ey inside, it's what potato lovers dream of. Do yourself a favor and order the currywurst: potatoes topped with wurst and curry ketchup, yum! the potato salad side is a close second -- so creamy and refreshing with a good bite. The Korean chicken sandwich was well seasoned, chicken was crispy, (a little messy to eat from the sauce) but hey.. we are here to get dirty with it.. this is a not a fancy knife and fork place. Porchetta sausage is so good and earthy, definitely paired well with the lemon, fried shallots, and herbs on top. Bacon and sesame sauerkraut is nice and so was the chickpea salad side, although we couldn't finish those.. We got the sauerkraut quesadilla which sounded so genius. If only they added more kraut over the cheese as it gets pretty rich.. To down all this food we got the great notion mighty mango sour and another beer that I can only describe as a sangria type of drink. Not so much a hops or IPA person so I like that they included some fruity/citrusy beers for drinkers like me. I'm much impressed over their wide alcohol selection. Love it!
